HONOLULU (KHON2) — A carbon dioxide leak at a store on Kuʻulei Road early Tuesday morning led to an evacuation, according to the Honolulu Fire Department.
Fire crews were called to 256 Kuʻulei Road around 5:20 a.m. Three units responded, including a Hazardous Materials (HazMat) team with 11 firefighters.
Officials confirmed a CO₂ gas leak inside the building and evacuated all occupants as a safety precaution.
